OK... All night I'm sitting around marveling at how great this is.... RBAs and rayon wicks; then you post this, and I'm excited even more. My bath tile has terribly filthy grout, ands it's on my honey-do list to clean/re-grout This thread just keeps getting better.
Be careful -- what the cutie at Sally's told me should be regarded strictly as hear-say. I've never tried that method of bleaching grout myself, and more importantly, I have no idea if it's "safe".

I have a Zenesis Standard... I am wondering if anyone has tried using the cc as a wick in this type of genesis atomizer.. ie: the positive post only allows for a taller connection then the neg post -- which has been dicey for coils, I am currently running a double 32 gauge twisted coil in it. I am thinking I can maybe thread a long piece of rayon through the coil and down into the tank... think it will wick up the juice to the coil? I love my Zen - but have to say that I am using the Chi-you with Aios in drip mode almost exclusively now. I would love to revive the Zen.

yes you can...i played with the aga t2 and did it....didnt play alot with it, but what did work was wicking through coil first then running wick into tank then hooking up coil
if you do run wick through coil to tank, be sure you untwist the wick well

good luck!!

I did it both ways, new coil, feed the dry wick in the coil then the tank and mount coil, old coil, feed it wet through the coil into the tank. I don't notice any difference.

I just did a u loop on a single coil into the other wick hole. No difference. Maybe a little since I put the plug or screw back in after filling and some people don't, so maybe I'm getting a benefit from having some air gap in two holes. The CCr seems to puff up enough to fill the coil or hole. I haven't seen the shrinkage issue that Jeremy warns about.

Shrinkage.... :lol:

Sorry, my 6 year old sense of humor just crawled out and I have forced it back into hiding.

Going to Sally's any minute to pick this stuff up.

We are on our 3rd incarnation of rayon now and the cellucotton is not as fluffy as the pharmacuitical coil I started out using. I made a video of a wicking session. You'll see how the size changes after a hour-day. Well tried to make a good video but it turned out pretty bad with a rigged up iphone and it's the first video like this I've made so it's not completely right because I was watching the camra too much. I forgot to do a stretch at the end but I think I'll post it anyway to give you guys an idea of how I do it... And of course the next one I do will be Better as soon as I have time.

Going into Sally's is usually a great cure for shrinkage.

I don't know about that; going into Sally's I sure do feel like I left my manhood out in the parking lot!

Edit: And as the father of 2 girls, I've had to buy more than my share of tampons/pads/vagicil (always with VERY explicit instructions, like "I want the ones in the purple package, but Not the ones with the wings, or the overnight ones, just the regular ones like I always buy". Yeah, OK.

No shame there unless you try to wick one up in the parking lot!

Ok. I have been having trouble with my cc coil on my cyclone on a Reo...I've tried more, less, longer tail, shorter tail...is it normal to have to rewick everyday? I do use 100% vg. The flavor and vapor production is good. But I'd notice a decrease in flavor in a day and my wick looked like it's burned in the middle where the coil is...maybe there's a problem with my coil? 1ohm 28g 1.5mm. Here's one of the wicks that I end up pulling in just a few hours...maybe because I'm chain vaping too much I haven't give it time to cool down between vape?

Don't get me wrong. I like the flavor and vp when it works. It's just a little weird when others seems to say cc last longer but I'm rewicking everyday...

Sorry egrets thats way too much, I may not have explained it well because we all have different wicking methods we used.... Use the amount that looks flush with the coil after an hour or so. But it should be touching the entire outside coils. A ever so slight shoulder at this time may reduce a little more after a couple more hours.

Guys after it breaks in, I mean all the air gets expelled and replaced by juice. The wick comes together instead of being the big fluff. Thats where I get that it gets smaller. And also where I get start bigger.

Basically you have the right amout when it looks even with the coil after an hour or two. A ever so slight shoulder could be ok because it may reduce in size a tiny bit more after a day. All this is considering you don't roll it ahead of time.

Sorry if I confused folks saying twice as much but the problems I had the most starting to work with it was using too little and having it loose contact with the coil.... When you get it right you'll know it.

I'd say you did pretty well considering there are at least 50 different styles to choose from. :) For years my ex would never buy them at the store, I always to go get them myself. Finally after many years he gave up the fight and didn't care anymore what anyone thought. :laugh:

the video is all black. I can hear the audio, and see the titles at the beginning, but the rest is all black
